Project Description: Inventory Management App in Kotlin and Firebase

Objective:

The objective of this project is to develop a mobile application using Kotlin and
Firebase for shop owners to manage their inventory efficiently. The app will allow
users to log stocked materials, record sales transactions, and provide an overview of
their inventory, including total inventory value, profit made, and items with low stock.
The app will feature a user-friendly interface with a bottom navigation bar for easy
access to different functionalities.
